Grace in its highest definition is

1.Grace in its highest definition is
God in the Son to be enjoyed by us;
It is not only something done or giv'n,
But God Himself, our portion glorious.
2.God is incarnate in the flesh that we
Him may receive, experience ourself;
This is the grace which we receive of God,
Which come thru Christ and which is Christ
Himself.
3.Paul the Apostle counted all as dung,
'Twas only God in Christ he counted grace;
'Tis by this grace-the Lord experienced-
That he surpassed the others in the race.
4.It is this grace-Christ as our inward
strength-
Which with His all-sufficency doth fill;
It is this grace which in our spirit is,
There energizing, working our God's will.
5.This grace, which is the living Christ
Himself,
Is what we need and must experience;
Lord, may we know this grace and by it
live,
Thyself increasingly as grace to sense.
